LETHAL STEEL are a new band coming from Sweden. They have just inked a deal with High Roller Records. In 2012, the band issued their first demo (albeit with a circulation of only 50 copies) and started to play some smaller venues in their home country. Guitarist Johan Frick explains: “The demo was recorded at Fryshuset during a couple of weeks in May 2012. We recorded it all by ourselves.”

The name of LETHAL STEEL’s first album for High Roller Records is »Legion Of The Night«. It contains eight traditional heavy metal anthems in the vein of Air Raid, Ambush and Black Trip. Johan has some more details: “The album was recorded with the help of Olof Wikstrand from Enforcer. It contains five completely new songs, two old tracks never recorded (‘Into The Void Of Lucifer’ and ‘Nattsvart’) plus ‘Nocturnal Seductress’. We are all too happy with the results. Some songs are based on folklore. For example, ‘Night Of The Witch’ is about a Swedish lore in which witches travel to a mythical place called ‘Blåkulla’, where they feast with the devil.”

Regarding the band’s influences (of old and new bands alike) Johan states: “It's hard to say which old bands have been the most important to us, but of course Heavy Load are a huge influence. All the members of Lethal Steel met because of a common interest in old bands like Jonah Quizz, Gotham City and Mindless Sinner. So for us, all of those bands have been essential for Lethal Steel forming in the first place. We are the only Swedish band playing genuine heavy metal at the moment though, at least that’s how we see it.”
